Simple things first. You may have a bad battery. You may also have a bad battery cable or cable connection. You may have a bad voltage regulator in your alternator. To check the voltage regulator sit behind the wheel and turn the key on. When the warning lights appear does the battery light come on? If it doesn't light up it means the voltage regulator is not completeing the circuit.
Now if you have checked all of that and are still having problem, you have an electric vampire somewhere in the car. Could be a shorted wire or a courtesy light that is staying on like under the hood or in the trunk. When you drive the car at night do the headlights seem to dim off and on? if they do you have a ground wire problem
Good luck

Why would a car battery keep dying?
A car battery would keep dying because inversely, the lesser the battery is used, the dying process continues. The more the battery is used, the lesser the dying process. But the dying commences and continues , the moment the car engine is not used. Thus, as often as the car is being used, the dying "resumes" the moment tne engine stops. And the faster it is used again, the slower the dying process.EVerytime the car engine is used, the battery recharges, thus life is given back to the battery. Once the engine stops, the dying resumes. This is why the car battery keeps on dying (everytime the car engine is not being used)
